About Me

I have lived in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Tokyo and Osaka, Japan, and Milan, Italy. I speak English, Italian, and Japanese.
My wife is Italian, but we met in Tokyo. We have three children, which at times seems like too many!
I started http://www.yappr.com to build upon my experience learning foreign languages. I learned both as an adult, and I consistently found watching local television to be the most fun and productive way to study.
